FrontPage98 Tips 

 

8. Bring users back with a button 

Creating an  intuitive navigational interface for a Web site isn't an easy task, especially when your page numbers start growing into the hundreds or even thousands. One thing most developers agree on, however, is that the navigation should be so simple users never have to click their browser's Back button to get around. Sure, there are times when you need to direct visitors back to a previous page, but for those moments it's best to have a button within the page. 

In FrontPage you can easily create a custom Back button by using one of the many FrontPage Components available in the FrontPage Editor. Just position the cursor on the page where you want the button to appear and select Insert/FrontPage Component. Choose Insert HTML from the Component list and click OK. In the Insert HTML dialog box, enter the following: 

<FORM><INPUT type="button" value="Back" onClick="history.go(-1)"></FORM> 

It will look like this ----->

GO ahead... try it

Click OK again, and you have your very own Back button. Your visitors will thank you for it.
